i doubt if i can ‘fix’ it, but i think there are lots of potential
failure paths behind the symptoms you mention:
- the 12.3 installation media could be crippled:
-if you didn’t get it from http://software.opensuse.org/, then where?
-which did you download? (Gnome CD, DVD, network, what??)
-did you md5 or sha1 check the iso prior to ‘burning’ the install
media? any errors?
-did you ‘burn’ to disk or USB stick? if to disk, did you use slowest
possible burn rate and high quality media?
-after making media, did you boot from it and then select “Check
Installation Media” (rather than install, or other) to run the
on-disk self-test? any errors?
- the install procedure could be skewed:
-when you say " had been working with 11.4 and I did a fresh
install." what does that mean? that is, did you reuse the same /home?
did you format all besides the /home?
-did you retain grub, or move to grub2?
-have any unusual occurrences during install? any errors,
start-overs, big messes?
- maybe this make some smiles:
-if you boot failsafe do all usb ports work?
- maybe it is Mr. Bill’s fault:
-you wrote “I have a dual system and just tested the two usb ports in
windows and they do work perfectly.” and i think i remember that
Windows can leave USB ports in a flaky state if they are not
correctly unplugged (or something–i don’t know much about
windows)…but, if you don’t un-use them the ‘windows-way’ BEFORE
shutting down, then the USB system is screwed until you do it their
way… are you doing it “right”?
- grabbing for straws:
-is your 12.3 installed onto a USB drive? did you install from a USB
stick on to a USB drive on another port? are there any usb drives
mentioned in fstab?
-is there a VM involved in any way?
-after you boot, did you look at the logs to see what errors or
warnings were noted?
-at the log in screen, are you logging in as root? have you before?
and, i’m probably missing the most obvious…but . . .
